Roman Reigns thanks fans for their support

WWE Superstar Roman Reigns thanked his fans for their support after undergoing emergency surgery yesterday to treat his hernia.

“Thank you everyone for your kind words, support and prayers!! I’m hurting right now but it’s great to know good people have my back,” Reigns wrote on his Twitter.

In a short video interview on the WWE Network from his hospital bed, Reigns said that he felt sharp pains below his belly button and was advised to call 911. After an ambulance transported him to the hospital, doctors told him he needs to undergo surgery immediately.

The former member of The Shield is looking for up to three months on the sidelines or in best case scenario, just a month. His match with Seth Rollins for tonight’s Night of Champions has obviously been scrapped with no replacement announced.
